Look what happens when it doesn't rain for a week in Ada. Soccer camps play on practice fields at ONU that are dry. And, the Klingler Road work - some refer to it as Klingler Canal - is able to proceed.

It's time to start thinking about back-to-school. Several lists are now on the Icon.

These include the elmentary class supply list, elementary and high school class fee list and the school emergency medical form.

Happy reading and safe travels. Here’s a neat idea from The Inn at ONU.

The Inn staff invites Icon viewers to “share a book” at the Inn.

Here’s how it works:

• Choose a favorite book in great condition and in a genre fascinating, riveting and memorable to you.

• Share it with others by donating the book to The Inn’s Share-A-Book library collection.

• Book donors will receive a bookplate with room to write the reasons the donor choose the book.

• Donors will also received 10 percent off at Pub dining at The Inn (excluding alcohol).
